Local gun shop owner not convinced Obama's proposals will help curb violence WITH VIDEO

Soon after President Barack Obama announced that he is proposing gun control measures to Congress at a White House briefing Wednesday afternoon, a local gun shop owner wasn't convinced those measures will bring any security to our schools.

"If those measures have a chance of success then I don't think there's anybody that would oppose that. It's the wisdom whether that in fact will be effective and I am not convinced it will be" said Bill Kucyk, a retired Oakland County deputy who was also a SWAT commander and now co-owns Action Impact Gun Range and Firearms on Eight Mile Road, Southfield.

Kucyk advocated the popular pro-gun community idea that it's not the gun that kills, its the human. He is not even convinced if those gun-control measures proposed by President Obama will limit the number of casualties in mass shooting let alone completely stop them.

"Because often times in these situations the perpetrator has stolen the firearm and stolen the magazines. And in the last month thousands upon thousands upon thousands (of guns and bullets) have been put out in this country" Kucyk argued.

So, if not this then what is this that Kucyk thinks will stop the kind of massacres we have seen in the past months. And the answer he has is community vigilance.

Watch a report on the local gun shop owner's reaction during today's News at Noon.

"Back to the 9/11 (times). I remember at that time we as citizens of the United States were asked to stand strong and we are asked to be vigilant and we were asked to participate and protect our country. And I personally believe that we need some type of similar rhetoric" he said.
